i am a parent with a private school
child in secondary school, and state primary child.

I mean I get it that your kids will suffer if you pull them out. But why did you not factor in a rise in costs and make damn sure you could afford it first? Cause state school is not THAT bad, and if it is in your area, there are places you can move to. if you could only just scrape by with the fees when you put them in, well that’s just reckless, and your fault not Labours.

And if your child has SEN then that’s awful, but it’s awful for parents in state schools with SEN kids too.

Please stop with the whining, cause state and private school parents alike are both heartily sick of hearing you moan.

(and you really sound like a Conservative HQ bot employed to put scare tactics on. You’ve gone over the top and it’s beginning to backfire).

The best way to shut them up is to start ANOTHER thread on the subject... Great job

I thought it was people with children at private schools subsidising children in state schools. They pay taxes to pay for schools that they don't use. Average cost of state education about £7500 a year per child so every child in private education saves the government that amount already.

You are correct.
but some posters don’t let facts get in the way of the class-based envy!

If you want them to stop taking up all the oxygen - don’t comment on any private school thread. They soon sink to the bottom
